MAG5035 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Workin on about 1.5" here on the surfaces where the snows laying the best, but there's still bare ground in some spots where the pines limit the snow hitting the ground. Overall has the look of a storm on March 30th. Kinda sucks this thing didn't come thru at night, cuz fluff factor has been pretty decent in some of the heavier bursts. Roads aren't even close to having any issues yet. Things could start to cover up as the afternoon wears on if we get some more decent bands come thru.

INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...ALTOONA...HARRISBURG...JOHNSTOWN... LANCASTER...STATE COLLEGE...WILLIAMSPORT...YORK 206 PM EST WED FEB 8 2012 .NOW... SNOW...SOME ON THE HEAVY SIDE FOR A BRIEF TIME...WILL BE ACROSS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE AREA OF SNOW IS MOVING NORTHEAST AT 30 MPH. MOST AREAS WILL SEE ANOTHER INCH OR TWO. PERSONS TRAVELING SHOULD USE CAUTION. ICY SPOTS COULD FORM ON UNTREATED ROADS AND SECONDARY ROADS... ESPECIALLY AFTER SUNSET...AS TEMPERATURES COOL SLIGHTLY. CTP doesn't think things are quite over despite snow slacking off a bit here. Fingers crossed we get a few more bands and hit 2"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Would not be surprised that within the next hour and a half, as the sun sets, snow begins to accumulate everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nowhere near that accumulation in the CC. Barely a coating here. Perhaps 1/4 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks like precip is shrinking south....pretty much think we are done in Palmyra, nothing more than wet roads and some white on grassy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 looks like precip stopped here in H-Burg. but the radar still looks ok for here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 looks like precip stopped here in H-Burg. but the radar still looks ok for here? CTP switched over the radar to VCP 31 (sensitivity is increased)... precipitation is going to seem more ominous than it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Still snowing here lightly. I'd say right around 2" on the grass. Nothing on the roads...if only this had been at night. Still a nice event to whiten things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Started to lay a bit on the roads here. Down to 30F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 About 2.3" in the grass, 1.9" on my car, and zero on the roads. Trees are coated. Lots of dendrites in the snowpack. Nice little event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi All... Snow just ended about 15 mins ago which means it snowed for nearly 10 hours!! What a treat. I had 2.5" back at 5:45 and I know it compacted some during the daylight so I am going with 3" like Zac got. Absolutely no wind all day and everything is beautifully covered in snow. All the trees look so awesome. This was a great event. Seasonal total now up to 14" appoximately. Almost 50% of normal...lol. Wondering about arctic wave event and how much we might get from that one. The snow from that should stick around for a few days with sub freezing highs. ---Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the nam and euro over the next 2 days, they should do best with this wave. IMO, the nam is a little too fast with the southern piece, but we'll see.
